Ensemble Nour at Les Orientales festival

Nine French and Iranian singers and instrumentalists share their musical traditions, and revisit the traditional Kurdish, Persan and European repertoires. Ensemble Nour was formed in the year 2000 for a project involving Persan and European vocal music. Since then, their repertoire has grown, and favours an intercultural spirit of communication, a certain form of serenity and voluptuousness which have established their reputation and success.
